[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3505882, member: 27673"] After Panama between the Army and working as a civilian advisor I spent pretty close to six years in Vietnam (2-69 thru 11-74).......then after VN it was on to Libya and after that Indonesia for several more years between the two before finally putting my suitcases in the attic and settling down here in Norman in 81'. Trust me after traveling and living abroad for quite a few years I found there is absolutely no place better or that even compares to what we have here in the U.S.A. and I love Oklahoma but if it weren't for what I assume is still subpar medical care compared to here and other western countries (which let's face it I will need more and more of as I get even older) I'd return to VN and live out my remaining time on earth there living in some smaller town far away from the hustle and bustle of the crowded cities like Saigon and Hanoi. Another downside besides quality medical care, with me being a gun owner all my life, is that private gun ownership would be out of the question in VN although I have seen references on expat forums that mention there are a couple of places now in country that cater to westerners where you can trap and skeet shoot by renting their guns and ammo.......I'm sure in a smaller town where I'd want to settle that wouldn't be an option. Closer to home I'd like to have a couple hundred acres minimum down in the southeastern part of the state where I could hunt, shoot and fish anytime I pleased. [/QUOTE]
